The Windsor

The plains (litterally) of Georgia are not so interesting. Very flat, often very rural, but despite all of this, I found myself in the town of Americus, Georgia for my Spring Break; staying in the Windsor Hotel. While I cannot fully disclose the details of what went on, I can tell you that plenty of adventure took place, which included but is not limited to: a bar, a roof, a very nice Lexus, and a wild game of trivia. If only I had a camera.

Show Tomorrow...

In Dalton. Pretty excited. I will be putting up pics soon of some of my urban exploring adventures. Until then!

Harmony Parking Lot Is Such A Great Song

Just about got it learned. This song would be cool to cover. Good clap/song along possibility.

Writing a new song. Just need to record.

Converse and A Drive In The Country

I finally got a new pair of shoes today as my old ones linings were falling apart. Just a simple pair of Converse.

On our way home we decided to take a different route and ended up taking a nice ride over some mountains, I have lived here for eight years and had never even seen that part of my county. Beautiful.

Going to earn some money tomorrow, I'm trying to earn up enough get the frame I've been oogling over on Bike Island.

Been trying to write a new song... frustrating.

Thankfully Spring is here.

Why Festivity Is Essential to the Anarchist Movement

"If I can't dance, then I don't want to be a part of your revolution."
Emma Goldman

There is a long history and relation between festivity and revolution. During the French Revolution it was common for insurrections and actions to end in dance and celebration which helped to create a unified sense of community among the revolutionaries. Both women and men took to the streets in celebration in the spirit of revolt.

As anarchists and anti authoritarians, a sense of community and festivity is essential to our activism and our outlook on life. It is one of the greatest ways to tear down social hierarchies, build relations, and share our differences in a positive and socially empowering way because festivity is a thing without hierarchy, enjoyed and participated in equally by all. Celebration is also necessary to prevent stagnancy; it is far too common for activists to become burnt out and complacent with their circumstances. The best of us become tired of hammering dutifully away at the block at times.

One doesn’t have to look far to see the impact of festivity on society, the pursuit of enjoyment is fundamental to human beings to keep ourselves from becoming depressed. Does it not make sense then to let our activism reflect that? Whatever festivity means is for you to discover but It is easily said that festivity plays a major role in every social movement, as even revolt itself is a form of celebration.
